bug#24670: Unexpected EOF reading a line (from guix pull)

[dian_cecht@zoho.com]

Hello,

     Someone in IRC asked me to email these errors here as a bug report, so I
shall.

     I was just trying to install Guix on a Gentoo machine via the
youbroketheinternet overlay (installed via layman). During the initial 'guix
pull;guix package -i hello', I ended up with a weird error at the very end of
guix pull (as root);

Found valid signature for
/gnu/store/7nfjg3f2c4s0jpz3vqh3iqdn9j1c3prq-perl-5.22.1
From
https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/nar/7nfjg3f2c4s0jpz3vqh3iqdn9j1c3prq-perl-5.22.1

guix package: error: build failed: unexpected EOF reading a line

then, when trying to run guix pull as a user, I got this (I havn't authorized
hydra as the user, but I did as root);

The following derivation will be built:

guix pull: error: build failed: unexpected EOF reading a line

I'm not sure what the problem is, but that is multiple EOF errors from the same
command from different users, so someone should probably take a look at it.

PS. I'm not sure if I'm subscribed to this mailing list, so if you need input
from me, just make sure to email me a copy. Thanks.
